“Tasty patties and good service. Everything is a fair price! Once we got there, the business name was different but we enjoyed it. There’s a selection of bread, sweet treats like tablet and homemade drinks- we got the limeade which was very good and refreshing with the patties“

“Their portion size is great. The food is good, and they have great customer service. The time that they tell you your food will be ready is true. Your food will actually ready when you arrive to pick it up. Best customer service I’ve gotten from a Haitian restaurant. Definitely recommend.“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“We stopped by this café for a Saturday morning breakfast. The exterior was charming, which drew us in. Parking is street-only, so it can be tricky on busier days, but we lucked out.

I ordered a cortado—decent, nothing remarkable. I went with the avocado toast, which they’re apparently known for. It was as minimalist as it gets: a slice of ciabatta, olive oil, a generous amount of fresh avocado, salt, and pepper. No frills, but solid and satisfying. My friend had a multigrain croissant with sausage and egg—basic and hearty.

The café is mostly self-service, and while the vibe was relaxed, the service was quite slow. We even cleared our own table from the previous guests. It seemed a bit understaffed, but the food was fresh and filling. A cute local spot, though don’t expect speed or polish.“

“Great spot for coffee and the owners are super friendly.“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“Just came for a quick coffee break and ended up loving this place! Quiet, clean, spacious, and aesthetic cafe. Delicious bakery items (recommend the raisin pastry and chocolate croissant!) and coffee. Really lovely service! Plus, they display the train schedule on a TV so it's perfect for chilling while you wait for your train. And pastries are 50% off past 4pm :)“

“Nice little spot where there's not much else around so its super convenient. Finally stopped by for an iced cold brew and it was really good. Great friendly service, would definitely stop by again. It's a trailer in the parking lot of the Willow Grove church, you can't miss it.

Parking: Church parking lot, free.“

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“Highly recommend Lidios for all of your floral needs! Maria put some beautiful arrangements together for me for multiple events, and her work is truly spectacular! The flowers always have guests talking and always add a special touch. 💐🎉“

“Simple, unpretentious, affordable, excellent. What more can I say. Everything is fresh with that homemade taste and quality. Their tres leches cake is out of this world, the crepes made by David are delicious, Lily was very patient, understanding my order, she has amazing customer service skills! Great service and atmosphere! 100% satisfied.“

“Order a cheesesteak sub and it was amazing. Real meat, carmalized onions, and just the right amount of cheese on a FRESH hoagie roll. Haven’t had one like it since I moved in this area from South Jersey. They were early in their delivery and they even wrote a cute little personalized “thank you” note on the bag. May seem small, but made me feel like they appreciate their customers. I work in food service and am jealous of their staff to get to work in a place like that.“

“For a few years, this has been my go to spot when I'm in the Ironbound. Cool vibe and ambiance. Hit or miss on portion sizes. A very notable change over the years. The bacon side is way too small (two skinny slices). The avocado toast has significantly decreased in size but at the same price point, and it's often more cream cheese than avocado most times. Yet, and somewhat reminds me of being back in Brooklyn. Good coffee.“

“Great place to play some TCG like Pokemon TCG, magic the gathering, union arena, grand archive, and more. The location host multiple events for every kind of game and makes sure to stay updated with new sets and release. The staff is always gentle and willing to help you to learn the rules of the game. And the coffee is insanely good“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“I went here today with my cousins actually I don’t know the guys name there but he definitely is experienced, full of joy, and it’s funny bc I bought matcha from him and it was great like he knew what he was doing. However I’m new in the area so I thought I should try the coffee across the street. And it was not bad but redemption rlly was redeeming itself bc of the matcha. I regret not gettting coffee from here. As I walked back with the other coffee he saw us. When we saw him it looked like he thought we betrayed him. However he doesn’t know that his coffee shop is way better. And I will be there more often. Also the atmosphere was awesome!!!“

“Vanilla Cinnamon Latte from Muse on Valley Brook Ave in Lyndhurst. This coffee shop is a hidden gem. Quaint little place to read a book, do some work in their comfy area with great music and good vibes. — drinking coffee at Muse Coffee Company. — at Muse Coffee Company.“

I recommend the Dumbledore and the sweets they have were great as well. got myself some mother's days macarons. also forgot to mention it is located in a great active spot in town 😃“

“We recently organized a Company Appreciation event and had a fantastic experience. Initially, when placing our order, they offered to set up for us, which we declined. However, when we arrived, everything was beautifully set up. They even provided extra items and ensured we had everything we needed. They truly saved the day for us. Thanks a million!“

“We are learning about Taiwan in school and decided to try Bubble Tea. The employees were very kind and explained how Bubble tea originated from Taiwan, gave our children stickers and helped them through their first time eating the Boba. I love that they have caffeine free and low sugar options.

Kid-friendliness: Low sugar and caffeine free options. They were also very friendly to our children and gave them stickers.“

“dirty place....the chef uses his bare hands to prepare and cook meals then denied multiple customers for food requests like 8pm like 🤦‍♀️..... they never clean while cooking or preparing instead they wait to clean up at 8pm ....gross only meal I was able to eat was a kibob salad because there meat is disgusting 😑“

The combination of fresh mozzarella and flavorful pesto hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is chill and cool, making it a great place to unwind. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be!“

“My girlfriend and myself, retired Philadelphia Police Officers were going on a cruise on 9/12/24 out of Cape Liberty. We arrived early and were looking for a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast. Luckily we picked Une Tasse Cafe, the coffee was fantastic and the breakfast wraps and pastries were delicious. The owner was warm and welcoming and introduced us to her dog, who actually let me pet him. I wish this restaurant was closer to where we live, coffee that good is hard to find. I just ordered two pounds on their web site so that I can enjoy it at home. Hopefully on our next cruise we will stop there again.“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delish as always. Love the shallots, leeks & goat cheese crepe & the best coffee! My fiancé loves the steak sandwich. Never disappoints & love to eat outside in good weather. Great service, great food for great prices. Tres bonne!👨🏻‍🍳“

“My husband and I happened to walk by today and saw they were open! It was a soft opening, so we decided to get coffee and I’m so glad we did! Their iced latte and chocolate croissant were both delicious! My husband said the espresso was also very good. The inside is beautiful and the large outdoor patio is such a nice feature. The staff was super friendly and even gave our daughter a chocolate chip cookie :) Can’t wait to go back!“
